| {{Quote|Mister Chief is a terrible idea that snowballed out of control, and now we’re stuck with it, like the internal combustion engine or Justin Bieber. I don’t secretly think he’s awesome, nor do I secretly think that Mister Chief has any actual artistic or canonical merit. He is the bastard child of a more desperate time. You know the expression “outsider art?” Whereby art is created from an unexpected place, like an elephant with a paintbrush. A French artist, Jean Dubuffet coined the term to describe paintings made by children and the inmates of insane asylums. Well, that’s exactly what Mister Chief is.|Frank O'Connor<ref>[http://news.xbox.com/2013/10/games-mister-chief-avatar '''Xbox.com''': ''Mister Chief Avatar Available Now: The Story Behind the Legend'']</ref>}}

| On 1/16/04, Frank O'Connor posted his first weekly update. At the time, ''[[Halo 2]]'' was still under a veil of secrecy. Frankie had just seen a promotional poster by [[Lorraine McLees]] and wanted to include it his weekly update, however it was not possible at the time. So instead Frankie created a horrible artist's impression of it. Instead of [[John-117|Master Chief]] holding a gun, Frankie drew him with a [[Wikipedia:Lightsabre|lightsaber]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'', "because guns are hard to draw".<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive12.pl?read=364018 '''halo.bungie.org Forum''': ''WEEKLY BUNGIE UPDATE'']</ref> It did not look quite right so Frankie drew in some eyes and mouth and labeled it '''"Mister Chief"'''. | | On 1/16/04, Frank O'Connor posted his first weekly update.
